It's a Mirage G4 M5... I don't really know the PC size and material, but I'll try to find out.

A little faster post-snivel than a Sabre 2. Slightly harder, maybe.

Here it is: https://youtu.be/CwcmGeKHqus I've slowed the hardest two openings to 25% speed so you can see what's happening in detail. The only difference I can see in comparison with a Sabre 2 is a faster slider drop, resulting in a faster widening of the canopy. What are your remarks? Do these seem fast to you or normal?

Bringing back this old thread after having an instructor see a video of my opening and going "whoa". He claims my opening was fast - insinuating it was hard. I've jumped this Spectre 190 for about 60 jumps now and they are all like this. I'm loading it at 1.1 psf. The opening doesn't feel hard - but maybe I got used to it. It's certainly faster than the Sabre 2 190 I used to jump before that. The canopy snivels for a good while and then the slider comes down like a rocket. Any packing trick I know wouldn't work since it snivels long enough to unroll anything and then snivels some more before slider drop. I will compile a video of my latest openings and post here to see what you guys have to say about them. Cheers!
